Topic: Trump and his operatives planning new, smarter assault on “the swamp” if he wins (Read 72 times)

He was given that opportunity the first time around. We're supposed to trust him with second chance? Sure.

Makes a great campaign slogan, except Trump has a poor ability of following through on his actual promises of emptying the governing bureaucracy that control most of the politics behind the scenes. All "talk" but no "action" from him.

In a recent filing through Washington-based law firm, Ifrah Law, under Florida statute § 770.02, Trump seeks to force the network to "publish a full and fair correction, apology, or retraction" based on published pieces or broadcasts that he says made "false statements" about him.

"I hereby demand on behalf of President Donald Trump that CNN (1) immediately take down the false and defamatory publications, (2) immediately issue a full and fair retraction of the statements identified herein in as conspicuous a manner as they were originally published, and (3) immediately cease and desist from its continued use of 'Big Lie' and 'lying' when describing President Trump's subjective belief regarding the integrity of the 2020 election," reads the letter.

Failure to issue an apology will result in a lawsuit.

"Failure to publish such a correction, apology, or retraction will result in the filing of a lawsuit and damages being sought against you, CNN," reads the document, which was reported by the Daily Caller.

"I have notified CNN of my intent to file a lawsuit over their repeated defamatory statements against me," Trump said in a statement. "I will also be commencing actions against other media outlets who have defamed me and defrauded the public regarding the overwhelming evidence of fraud throughout the 2020 Election. I will never stop fighting for the truth and for the future of our Country!"

When Donald Trump first got into office, it became apparent that his political instincts were good.

He certainly proved that by beating 16 other seasoned Republican politicians by knowing exactly how to appeal to ordinary Americans who had long been ignored by the Washington elite in both parties.

But what Trump could never overcome was the massive Deep State “swamp” — careerist federal bureaucrats who are little more than left-wing Democratic operatives and who worked in the shadows to either slow-walk his policies or ignore them altogether. The same was true for ranking senior managers and staffers burrowed into the massive federal bureaucracy.

Well, Trump is very probably going to run again for president in 2024, and if he does, he will win the GOP nomination easily. And if he does that, he very well could win the presidency again after four disastrous years of Joe Biden.

Should Trump get his well-deserved second term, he will arrive in Washington, D.C. with a new battle plan for taking on — and actually draining — the swamp. And there is virtually nothing the Washington careerists can do about it.

Trump and his allies have spent the last several months meticulously planning not only his return to the White House but also a massive overhaul of the federal bureaucracy down to the mid-staff level that could lead to tens of thousands of firings.

According to Axios, whose correspondents spent three months interviewing some two dozen Trump insiders and others familiar with the planning, Trump will reimplement “Schedule F,” an executive order he issued just days before the 2020 election and which was quickly rescinded by President Joe Biden that calls for completely reshaping hundreds of federal agencies.
